The sound was named “Mosquito” because of its similarity with a buzzing insect. Also popularly called, “Teen Buzz”, mosquito ringtones were developed by students based on the mosquito “teen repellent” device. The device was marketed to English store-owners to prevent teens from loitering. These ringtones feature a sound that is outside the normal audible range of adult hearing. If you download a mosquito ringtone, it is possible that you are the only one who can hear when someone calls or texts you on your mobile phone.
The logic is simple. As people grow older, our hearing becomes poorer. Mosquito ringtones range from 8 kHz to 25 kHz. Everyone can hear the 8 kHz mosquito ringtone but the 25 kHz mosquito ringtone can only be heard by people aged 24 years old or younger.
It is really inconvenient everytime you mute your mobile phone. If you like privacy and also hate disturbing people, mosquito ringtones are perfect for you. Simply download the appropriate mosquito ringtone on your mobile phone using your service carrier.
